These were really easy. Originally, I was going to give away Cinnamon Sugared Almonds in Christmas gifts. However, almonds are $6.00 for 12 oz. and I needed 3 1/2 pounds. So that wasn't happening. I've made these pretzels as gifts and for my school potluck this week.
Chocolate Covered Pretzels
1 big bag of pretzel twists (I don't remember how many ounces. Maybe it was 18 oz.? It doesn't really matter.)
1 24 oz. package of chocolate almond bark
1 24 oz. package of white chocolate almond bark
Sprinkles, optional
Melt the chocolate almond bark in a bowl in the microwave. I did one section at a time, not the whole 24 oz. at once. I put a large handful of pretzels at a time into the bowl and tossed them around. Pull them out with a fork and set on wax paper. I repeated the process until all the milk chocolate was gone. They don't take long at all to dry.
Melt the white chocolate one section at a time (you'll probably only need half of the package). Scoop it into a Ziploc sandwich bag and snip a small hole in the corner. Pipe/drizzle over the pretzels. (I did burn myself a few times squeezing the Ziploc bag, so yes, it will be hot.) I tried drizzling with a fork and the chocolate isn't thin enough, so I needed to use the bag.
Decorate with sprinkles immediately, as you go, because they dry quickly.
